HERE WE ARE AGAIN Not to tell you about the purity of our drugs or the accuracy of our compounding, for every man woman and child knows that in this we EXCEL all others in our line. It is to tell you of all the new goods we are receiv ing daily and of interest to you. Nothing is nicer and more valuable than a fine collec tion of "STEINS" and we have them in all sizes and prices. It is the craze of the present age, so fall in line. SEE OUR WINDOW DISPLAY Brock & McComas Company THE flODERN ORUOOISTS PENDLETON 3 mm WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1902. Boise City is going after gamblers with a vim $100 fines in each case will soon tell on the inen even who get iteasy. CANADA'S OFFER. To the average kid this is a red letter dav. Buffalo Bill's show is a great drawing card to this element, and some of the enthusiastic "kids" are rather large ones too. The sugestion of a newcomer that there are not enough business houses and residences in this city to accom modate the growing population ought to be looked into by those people who are able to buy real estate and build, or who have vacant lots. It is a well known fact that good tenantable property in a growing city is the beat kind of property. The case of a miser dying of star vation with 110,000 cash in his pos session and other money hid out about his hut makes one think that there are cases where Tracy's might ply their trade with good results to the country. That much money put in circulation might be good for the country if it did not reach it through a legitimate channel. It is now stated that there are fair prospects of trouble between this country and Turkey. Scrapping is not usually a profitable pastime even to the winner, but there would be a whole lot of satisfaction of knowing that Uncle Sam had taken about 5112.000, the amount of the Miss Stone ransom money, out of the hides of those Mohammedan Hoodoos. They are now talking extra session for the president. He has made no announcements, himself, however, and about the time the papers get him ready to call an extra session, he will probably come out and say that he has not changed his mind from the views entertained several months ago; that is, that will be the case if he folows up his former stand, in the matter. Potter, the Salt Lake City attorney, went at his own case to win and he won. He took enough strychnine to kill four men and it killed him. If all of those fools would take this precau tion it would relieve the country of them for good, and that Is what Ib needed in such cases. He set a good example, also, by killing himself first, Instead of beginning on some Inno cent person, as many of them do. i Canada's offer to the striking miners Is a good one, though there Is j little likelihood of it being accepted jby the miners. They are not adapted to farming, neither would they like 1the climate. Besides, if they wish (to go into the farming business they have the opportunity right at home, or by just coming over Into the great Pacific Northwest of the United States. But in Canada's offer, there is a les son to Americans. Canada offers to pay the miner's way into that coun try and stake them after they get there. Now Canada is not likely to restrict this offer to striking miners. She may make it general; and if she does there will be hundreds to take it up. Canada" is not bluffing either. The most prejudiced against the Eng lishman, if there are any, admit they never bluff on business propositions. The Englishman generally means what he says and does. There have been all kinds of moves lately toward introducing American immigration to Canada. "Whatever may be the purpose it is immaterial. But Canada has large stretches of uninhabited country that she would like to settle up, and the Americans who have drifted into that country from this side, have convinc ed her that Americans are not bad citizens. Canada is willing to take her chances on them, and she is gett ing some of them. "What may be the outcome is hard to tell. Some Cana dians are afraid that the Americans will overrun Canada - and get up a United States sentiment there, and some Americans are afraid that Ca nada will entice our citizens over there and make Englishmen of them. And then it is predicted by some that the time will come when by common consent we-will become one country. But for the present our people should not sleep. We have better ad vantages in every way than Canada, and why not encourage those who are likely to leave for the purpose of bettering their condition to remain? Why not Americans offer the striking miners' and others seeking rural life such induce ments that they would prefer to re main here than to go to Canada? It Is a subject worthy of considera tion and discussion at least artists, clergymen, lawyers and doc tors, none of whom ever strike. Then there are about 400,000 teachers in the country, two-thirds of them wo men, who work year In and year out in strikeless continuity. Next come our domestic and personal and pub lic servants, about 5,000,000 of them, Including our soldiers and sailors; they also belons to the non-striking majority. It is strictly to workers in manu facturing and mechanical industries and in trade and transportation, ag crega'.mg a grand total of 15,0u,000 persons that strikes and lockouts are confined. But from this total many further deductions must be made, be cause it includes the 600,000 clerks and bookkeepers, the GO.000 commer cial travellers, the 200.000 real estate and commission agents, the Slu.OOO wholesale and retail merchants, the 15.001' stenographers and the 35,000 bankers and brokers, all of whom are outside the strike zone. Returns cov ering a long period of years show that the total number of persons who go on strike or are locked out averages 314.000 annually. In short, nearly two-thirds of all the working people of the country are steady, continuous workers, who saw wood and say noth ing, and of the other one-third only a small fraction stops working at any one time. New York World. OLDEST GREAT NATION LEANS ON YOUNGEST. Sheriff Taylor and his posse did not catch the man they were after, but they made a good catch anyway. It would not be a mistake to arrest almost any suspicious looking hobos In the country now. A man that is a hobo now is usually a criminal and a pretty bad one at that The youngest of the great nations of the "world seems fast being put In the position of defender of the oldest. When China was prostrate before the allies it was to the United States of America she appealed to save her from the exorbitant demands of the nations of Europe for indemnity and the United States succeeded in get ting the demands down to an amount it was possible for the paralyzed old nation to pay. When the nations tarried in Tien Tsin she appealed to us again to get here back her own, and we used our influence, and Tien Tsin was turned over to the Chinese again. Now that some of the powers have turned greedy again and are demand ing the payment of the indemnity in gold, which China cannot pay witn out absolute bankruptcy, once more she turns to the Western Republic and asks our help In her embarass-! Blent. That China regards us as her best friend, though for our own protection we keep her people from this coun try, has a practical as well as a sen timental value. The progress of the world is dragging old China along with it In spite of herself, and there will be a power of business for Yan kee traders and promoters In the Ce lestial Kingdom when she is well started.

' The Union Republican is complain ing that the Evening Telegram in enumerating the woolen mills of the Pacific Northwest left out the valua ble mills at Union. That was not so bad as the Tacoma News. It left out all except some small mills on Puget Sound. Some of those big city papers ought to get out Into the country and .ascertain what the state really pos sesses. Some of them think the ci ties In which they are published, are the worlds and there Js nothing out side qf them. In these days of unparelleled pros perity and strikes it is a soothing re flection that the majority of Ameri can workers never have gone on a strike and probably never will. A survey of the national workshop, so to speak, discloses the fact that, including men, women and minors, nearly 32,000,000 persons are daily at work in It less the number of those temporarily on strike. Of this grand total 15,000,000 only, considerably less than one-half, are employed in the in dustries that are subject to strikes and lockouts. Here then Is the gratifying fact that 17.000.00p workers in these Unit ed States alyvays keep working. In cluded in this great standing army of industrious people who never quit their jobs" are the farmers and their help, about 9,000.000 strong, The people at work on American Jarms, comprising nearly one-half of the adult labor of the country, .have never gone on a strike; the Idea has never even been mooted among them. Besides our farmers there are over 1,000,000 Americans claslfled as pro fessional workers actors, authors, SURGICAL OPERATIONS How 3Irs. Bruce, a Xoted Opera Singer, Escaped ail Operation.
